Chapter 103

Saturday morning.

Lu Shaojie arrived at the God King Planet ahead of schedule.

Lu Shaojie came to the God King Planet with his girlfriend Huo Mian. Huo Mian's war beast is an S-level ear-horned white tiger named Aurora.

Some time ago, Huo Mian received news that Aurora's two children, "Champion" and "God of War", were in trouble on Fulka Planet. Later, somehow, the thieves were involved. In short, Aurora's mother Xuehua and Aurora's son and daughter are currently in the Piccolo Zoo on the God King Planet.

Piccolo Zoo has always wanted to meet Huo Mian and talk to her about the follow-up issues of "Champion" and "God of War".

Huo Mian was supposed to come a month ago, but she didn't get her leave because she went to the front. Now that she's back, she took a leave to come to the God King Planet. Lu Shaojie was worried about her being alone, so he also took a leave to accompany her.

Lu Shaojie is in the Army, and Huo Mian is in the Beast Army. Because they are not in the same military branch and do not serve on the same planet, they came in two flights.

It's eight o'clock in the morning, and Huo Mian's starship will arrive at ten o'clock.

Lu Shaojie looked at the time and sent a message to Huo Mian.

The call was quickly connected, and Huo Mian's voice came from the other end: "You go ahead. I have already told Director Mu a few days ago that you just need to show your military ID to the ticket inspector when you enter the gate. You just wait for me inside."

Lu Shaojie agreed, hung up the call, and took a taxi to the Bic Zoo.

When he arrived, there was still a long queue outside the Bic Zoo, but the ticket check was very fast, so he didn't have to wait long.

When it was his turn, Lu Shaojie took out his military ID. He was about to explain the situation, but the ticket inspector seemed to have received the news a long time ago and let him pass directly.

Lu Shaojie thanked him and walked in, but as soon as he entered, he was caught by the crowd.

There were a lot of people and cars in the park, and the loudspeakers in the square were still broadcasting words like "Second Service Area" and "War Beast Area".

Lu Shaojie didn't quite understand. He frowned and was about to pull over a staff member to ask how to get to the director's office, but he didn't know that he was pulling a staff member from an outsourced fleet. The tour guide of the fleet didn't hear clearly what he asked, and only said: "The third line, this is the third line, free bus, go up the mountain along the river road, go down the mountain along the middle road, and go to the second service area at noon. Lunch is sold at the second service area."

Lu Shaojie: "..."

Lu Shaojie repeated: "I want to ask, how to get to the director's office?"

The tour guide heard his question clearly and said, "The director's office? The director is not in the office. The second service area is open today, and the director needs to help at the second service area."

The director is in the second service area?

Lu Shaojie frowned, he looked at the crowded square, and thought that this bus was also going to the second service area, so he got on the bus.

The bus for 50 people was soon full, and the bus started. The tour guide also got on the bus. She stood in the front corridor and said, "Dear tourists, hello, welcome to Bic Zoo..." The tour

guide's opening speech was very long, and he also mentioned a few precautions, such as not littering, not approaching animals without permission, etc.

Some people on the bus listened carefully, and some people gathered together to chat.

Sitting next to Lu Shaojie was a young man who was about the same age as him. The young man was taking pictures with his laptop while talking to Lu Shaojie: "Are you alone?"

Lu Shaojie said casually: "No."

The young man said "Oh" and looked like he understood: "Taking a different route from your friends?"

Lu Shaojie didn't want to explain too much to a stranger, so he just said "um".

He thought the topic was over, but the young man said, "My name is Xiao Wei, what's your name?"

Lu Shaojie: "..."

Lu Shaojie exhaled, "My surname is Lu."

"You look older than me, so I'll call you Brother Lu. Brother Lu, let me tell you, I've been here three times, if you have any questions, just ask me later."

Lu Shaojie was a little surprised. He looked at the other party and said, "Isn't it said that it's hard to get tickets for this Piccolo Zoo?"

Xiao Wei said, "Yes, that's why I only got three tickets."

Lu Shaojie: "..."

What a "only".

Lu Shaojie noticed that when Xiao Wei said this, several people around him turned their heads to look at him, and their fists were stiff.

Xiao Wei continued: "I just want to visit all three routes, and then choose the best one, and propose to my girlfriend next time I bring her here."

Lu Shaojie raised his eyebrows: "Propose in the zoo?"

"Well, we both like animals." Xiao Wei then opened his laptop and showed Lu Shaojie the photos.

Lu Shaojie thought he was going to show himself a photo of his girlfriend, but he clicked on a photo of a pig...

"Brother Lu, look, this is the photo I took on the first line, a little pig. This little pig is called Yunyun. Look at this photo, this was taken when I was holding Yunyun."

Lu Shaojie: "..."

What could Lu Shaojie say? He could only say, "It's very cute."

Seeing that he was showing off, Xiao Wei became more excited: "Here are some more, and this one. This one is a Dada sheep. I've touched its fur, it's very, very soft. And this one..."

The young man couldn't stop talking. Lu Shaojie suddenly felt as if he had poked a hornet's nest. He should not have said cute.

Lu Shaojie didn't have much feeling towards animals. He naturally respected war beasts and loved animals, but he was definitely not a fanatical animal lover like Xiao Wei.

"Don't you like animals?" Perhaps because Lu Shaojie's reaction was too cold, Xiao Wei finally stopped talking.

Lu Shaojie was a little embarrassed, but he still said realistically: "It's normal."

As soon as he said this, Xiao Wei really stopped talking, but he looked at Lu Shaojie with strange eyes again.

Lu Shaojie thought he had ruined his mood and made him unhappy. He didn't want to say anything, so he simply turned his head to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window.

After a while, the shuttle bus switched to suspension mode, and they crossed the diversion of the two rivers, and then landed on a river beach on the other side of the river.

"We're here," the tourists who had seen the map immediately became excited.

The tour guide then said, "As you can see, we have arrived at our first attraction, the wetland forest. Our protective nets are about to be activated, so please stay away from the windows."

As the tour guide spoke, he walked into the car. After making sure that no tourists were pulling on the windows, he made an OK gesture to the driver in front of him. The driver pressed a button, and suddenly a layer of wire mesh appeared outside the windows of the entire car.

The car drove slowly forward, and the tour guide continued to introduce the wetland forest: "There are two pythons living here in our wetland forest, both of them are rain pythons, a gray python called 'Tata', and a green python called 'Ruyi'. The wetland forest is close to the water source, and rain pythons like moisture. They..."

The tour guide continued to introduce the characteristics of rain pythons, but the tourists in the car couldn't wait and asked: "Why can't we see them?"

The tour guide said: "Tata likes to swim by the water, and Ruyi likes to climb trees. Everyone can pay more attention to them."

Everyone leaned against the window and looked around with binoculars.

Lu Shaojie looked at the time, and the car suddenly slowed down. When can we reach the second service area?

Thinking of this, Lu Shaojie looked out the window, and at that moment, his surprised eyes suddenly met the eyes of a pair of pythons in the tree canopy not far away.

Now the car was driving along the river bank, and all the tourists gathered on the left side, close to the river, to see if there were any gray pythons in the water. Lu Shaojie was still sitting on the right side, so for a moment, he was the only one who found the green python.

Lu Shaojie stared at the green python, hesitating whether to call others, but at this moment, he saw the winding green python shuttle down from the tree trunk, its slippery body rubbing against the dense grass, and then it climbed up another big tree closer to the car, circling on the tree branch, it swam in front of the branch, raised its head, and looked in the direction of Lu Shaojie.

Lu Shaojie: "..."

His palm suddenly covered his chest, and Lu Shaojie felt his pounding heart.

In Lu Shaojie's impression, pythons are huge, dark, with brown and yellow patterns, and look gloomy and cold-blooded overall.

But the python in front of us was so beautifully green, without any extra color on its body, its back was dark green, its belly was light green. When it looked at people, it blinked and spit out its pink tongue, looking very obedient.

"Hey, here, here, Ruyi is here!"

Someone shouted, and everyone gathered around immediately, calling the python with a smile: "Ruyi! Ruyi, look here!"

The green python circled on the tree again, and then suddenly, its tail was seen hanging on the branch, its body was hanging in the air, and it actually did the action of hanging upside down.

"Ah!!"

"Be careful!"

The tourists were startled, thinking that the green python was going to fall down. However, after doing this action, the green python climbed back onto the tree trunk, continued to hold the trunk and looked over here.

"Oh shit! Is it performing for us?"

"Hahaha, oh my god, it's so adorable!"

the tour guide in front said at the right time: "Ruyi is still a baby python. Rain pythons reach adulthood at the age of three to five. It is only two and a half years old now, and still a child. Ruyi likes to hang upside down because once the director came to see it, it accidentally fell from the tree and scared the director. Later, it seemed to know that it can scare people, so it likes to hang upside down when it sees people."

The tourists laughed to death: "The way pythons scare people is to hang upside down. If you open your bloody mouth, baby!"

"Isn't the bloody mouth used for eating? What does it have to do with scaring people? A two-and-a-half-year-old baby doesn't know these things!"

"Haha, I'm really dying of laughter."

The tourists laughed and took photos and videos.

Lu Shaojie listened to the guide's description and looked at the green python over there. Finally, he couldn't help but turned on his computer and took a lot of photos!

When the car drove away and other tourists were still regretting that they didn't see the gray python Tata, Lu Shaojie had already flipped through the previous photos and began to screen them one by one.

As he was screening, suddenly, he felt someone was looking at him.

Lu Shaojie turned his head and saw Xiao Wei next door. Xiao Wei looked at him meaningfully, and then smiled with a crooked mouth, inexplicably confident.

Lu Shaojie: "..."

Lu Shaojie thought about what he had just said about being indifferent to animals. Now it was indeed a bit embarrassing. He coughed lightly and couldn't help but sit a little further inside.

Less than fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the next attraction, Otter Beach.

There are seven otters in total at the Otter Beach. When they arrived, they saw five otters sleeping by the dense bushes, while the other two were staring at the keeper, standing up, holding the keeper's legs with their two short hands, and asking the keeper to feed them dried fish.

The keeper was helpless and had to take two small fish from the fish bucket on his waist for them.

The two otters took the small fish and walked away quickly, hiding behind a rock to chew on it.

One of the five sleeping otters seemed to notice that this person was eating alone, so it quickly ran over and circled around the keeper's feet.

The keeper had no choice but to give it a fish.

The otter grabbed the fish, turned around and returned to the other otters, happily lying down and chewing the fish's tail.

"Oh, so cute." Someone in the car said excitedly.

Then there was the sound of taking pictures one after another.

Lu Shaojie was also taking pictures. During the period, he took pictures of otters scratching, otters yawning, otters hugging, otters standing up to look at people, and otters huddling together.

He was so engrossed in taking pictures that after leaving the python's area, the wire mesh was closed again. Now the window can be opened. Lu Shaojie even flew the camera out to take pictures, but the tour guide reminded him not to fly out, so he could only take the camera back with regret.

After leaving the Otter Beach, Lu Shaojie was about to screen the photos again, when he suddenly thought of something. He turned his head and looked to the side, and saw that, as expected, Xiao Wei was looking at him again.

Lu Shaojie: "..."

Stop looking, stop looking, can't he stop talking!

This route is along the river, so they visited animals along the river along the way.

The next stop is the hippopotamus.

Tourists can even get off at this stop.

The tour guide smiled and said, "The hippopotamus Dudu has adapted to humans approaching. If you want to take a photo with Dudu, come here to change into protective clothing. You can take a photo each under the arrangement of the keeper, but you can't touch it, you can't touch it, and you can't make too much noise to scare it."

Of course, the tourists would not do such stupid things. They immediately went down to line up with great interest!

"Please make way." Lu Shaojie said to Xiao Wei who was sitting outside.

Xiao Wei smiled and asked, "Brother Lu, do you want to take pictures?"

Lu Shaojie said, "...Yes."

Xiao Wei said, "Oh."

Then he stood up and walked in front.

Lu Shaojie: "..."

No, I'm a little angry. Forget it, I won't take pictures!

Hippo Dudu is really docile. It just lies there. No one will hide when they come to take pictures. When it gets tired of lying down, it closes its eyes and goes to sleep directly.

But it looks even cuter when it sleeps!

In this way, almost everyone took a picture. Lu Shaojie was the second to last to take a picture. When he took the picture, he also made a "yeah" gesture. After everyone finished taking pictures, the tour guide let everyone get on the bus.

After getting on the bus, the tour guide said, "Actually, Dudu is not always here. He just had breakfast and doesn't want to go into the water, so we are lucky to be able to take a picture. In another hour, the people behind us probably won't be able to take a picture."

After saying this, the tourists felt that they had made a fortune.

Later, they saw toads, river beetles, pangolins, turtles, and crocodiles.

All the way down, in less than three hours, Lu Shaojie's computer had more than 200 photos!

He also changed from sitting in his seat reservedly at the beginning to jumping up immediately when other tourists shouted "here, here", tiptoeing over to look!

At nearly 11:30, the tour guide said, "The next stop is the second service area. Those who didn't bring lunch can buy food at the restaurant in the second service area. For those who brought lunch, there is also a special dining area in the service area for everyone to eat..."

The tourists below were instantly excited again. They just heard the broadcast at the gate. It is said that the animal dormitory is temporarily vacant and all the war beasts have been sent to the second service area. Everyone

doesn't know what the second service area looks like, and the director has never announced it before. According to their guess, it is estimated that a larger glass house is built on the mountain. After all, the glass house at the foot of the mountain seems a bit small as more and more animals are living there.

But even if it is just to move the glass house to a larger place, everyone is still looking forward to the second service area!

And Lu Shaojie...

Lu Shaojie: "..."

Yes, Lu Shaojie almost forgot that he was not here for tourism, he was going to the second service area to find the director Mu!

Thinking of his business, Lu Shaojie's ears turned red, and he quickly turned off the computer, pretending that nothing had happened.

"Don't collect it." The male voice beside him suddenly sounded at this time.

Lu Shaojie looked at Xiao Wei next to him.

Xiao Wei said with a tone of an experienced person, "I advise you to change the shooting mode to follow-up video. I guarantee you won't miss a single frame of the war beasts in the second service area."

Lu Shaojie said calmly, "I have seen many war beasts. I am okay with war beasts." He took the opportunity to make up for it, "I took pictures of the animals in front because those uncommon animals are rarely seen. I haven't seen them before, so I took more pictures."

Xiao Wei: "..."

Xiao Wei seemed to be stunned by Lu Shaojie's stubbornness at this time.

Lu Shaojie was also a little embarrassed. He didn't know what had happened to him. Since the green python Ruyi, he was inexplicably attracted to those small animals. He was obviously not an animal lover. Usually, when he saw animal videos on the Star Network, they were swiped away.

Xiao Wei saw his doubts and said, "The animals in the Piccolo Zoo are different. Whether it is a war beast or an ordinary animal, the animals in this zoo are more spiritual than those in other zoos. Of course, it may also be my filter... But don't disbelieve it. These ordinary animals also have many fans. The photo of the little Gangzhu I showed you before has more than 30,000 fans."

Lu Shaojie: "..."

Lu Shaojie really didn't know this. His impression of the Piccolo Zoo came from the war beasts.

Xiao Wei said again: "Anyway, I hope you won't be like me. I came once, then came a second time, then a third time, and I'm going to come a fourth time. I really don't want to be unwilling if I can't visit the whole park!" Lu Shaojie smiled

.

Lu Shaojie felt that Xiao Wei was exaggerating. He was not a person who cared about having fun.

-Fifteen

minutes later.

The shuttle bus arrived at the parking lot outside the second service area.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen shuttle buses of various sizes parked at the parking lot.

This means that at least two or three hundred people have arrived.

"Everyone go this way." After getting off the bus, the tour guide led the way in front.

The tourists followed behind, and soon they saw a tree-lined path. There was a sign at the entrance of the gravel path, and the sign read "Second Service Area→".

This path is quite long, and it took them about a minute to walk through it.

After exiting the path, there was a glass door in front that was so clear that it reflected light.

From their angle, they could only see this door. They wanted to look left, right, up, and down, but they were all blocked by the shadows of tree branches.

The glass door is sensitive, and it opens when people approach.

As soon as they walked through the glass door, they heard a bustling crowd coming from upstairs.

Inside the glass door was a hallway. On the left and right sides of the hallway were two photo walls. On the six-meter-high walls, there were pictures of animals hanging one after another. In the middle was the logo of "Bic Zoo."

Everyone was about to take a look at the photos, but they heard louder noises upstairs. Curious, they all went upstairs.

Once they went upstairs, they saw that the second-floor platform opposite the stairs was actually an observation deck.

There was a three-meter-long white bench in a row here.

Many tourists are now sitting on this bench, facing the window, looking at the scenery outside.

What scenery is outside? Outside, there were forests, rolling hills, herds of animals, and gurgling rivers.

When the tourists who had just climbed the stairs saw this scene, they immediately rushed up. They stuck to the window and pointed outside, saying, "Look, that's King Kong, King Kong is eating grass!"

"That's Pimi! Pimi is basking in the sun on the stone!"

"Where are the other war beasts? The other war beasts are not here!"

The tour guide said at this time: "These places with benches are our self-service viewing areas. Let's continue to walk inside."

With the tour guide's call, everyone hurried to follow him. Only then did they see that this glass building was actually a very long glass corridor.

There were many shops on both sides of the corridor, and the places without shops were benches or tables for six people to sit opposite each other.

At this time, these outdoor tables were basically full of people. At noon, everyone was eating.

The tour guide led the tourists to continue to walk inside, and soon they arrived at the first shop.

The first one is a beverage store. The small store is filled with self-service beverages. You can take whatever you want to drink and pay by face recognition when you leave.

Continue walking forward, the store in front of the beverage store is a bento store.

The bento in the store are all prepared in advance, fresh and sealed. Customers can take whatever flavor they want and pay by themselves.

After the bento store, there is a cultural and creative store.

There are many papers, pens, notebooks, postcards and the like in the cultural and creative store, and these cultural and creative items are printed with the logo of Piccolo Zoo, as well as different war beasts or animal photos.

Today is Saturday, and there are many adults bringing their children here to play. Now these children are clamoring to buy stationery. Although children nowadays don’t need paper and pens in class, they just want it.

After the cultural and creative store, there is the jewelry store.

There are all kinds of things, such as bracelets with unicorn heads and rings in the shape of lightning.

Going forward, there are figurine stores, puzzle stores, model stores, doll stores, and tableware stores.

These are all peripheral stores of Piccolo Zoo.

Going forward, they soon came to the intersection of this corridor. The intersection belongs to the central area of ​​the entire glass building. This is the place with the highest flow of people, so super large restaurants and supermarkets are opened here.

After passing the supermarket and restaurant, the corridor in front is also full of small shops, some of which are self-service and some are manned.

Of course, some shops are temporarily empty, and I don’t know what kind of shops will open later.

This second service area is actually a purely indoor environment, which is like the tourists are in the cage and the animals are outside.

Lu Shaojie was fascinated by it.

The tour guide took everyone for a walk and introduced them. Then he let everyone move freely and told them to gather in front of the exit in two hours.

As soon as they said to disband, the fifty people separated in twos and threes.

Lu Wenjie went directly back to the first cultural and creative store and bought Ruyi's picture book. Then he saw Dudu's figure in the figure store. Finally, when he saw the Q-version puzzle of seven otters in the puzzle store, he was completely tired and bought it.

In between shopping, he would run outside the window from time to time, especially when some tourists were shouting something, he would be the first to rush over and put his camera on to record the video, making sure not to miss any frame!

Lu Shaojie was shopping, Xiao Wei was also shopping, the two men were carrying large and small gift bags, and when they passed each other, they looked at each other tacitly, then held the cameras on their shoulders and continued to gallop in the corridor.

-

"Haven't you contacted yet?" In the restaurant in the center of the corridor, Mu Ling put a glass of drink in front of Huo Mian, and asked when she saw that she was still turning on her laptop.

Huo Mian was also a little embarrassed. She took the drink, said thank you, and then said: "I guess he turned on the computer muting. It's a habit in the army to turn on the muting."

Mu Ling said: "Our ticket seller said that he came in a long time ago and must still be in the park. I'll ask someone to keep an eye on him."

Huo Mian thanked her naturally, and then she looked out the window again.

She saw four white tigers fighting and making a fuss on the lawn downstairs.

Aurora, who was in his prime and had always been tough and fierce, now cuddled up to his mother, Snowflake, like a young tiger that had not been weaned. Snowflake licked Aurora's fur gently. On the hill not far from them, Xiaobao sprinted, jumped up and "slapped" on Dabao. Dabao did not dare to move, so he lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, trying to impress his psychopathic sister with his deafening silence. As

Huo Mian watched, her eyes were filled with tenderness. Then she turned her head and was about to talk to Director Mu, when suddenly, the tourists outside shouted.

Huo Mian and Mu Ling looked out the window at the same time and saw that Tayun was circling in the sky outside, and then it flew to the window after circling for a while.

The sudden approach of Ta Yun aroused the reaction of the tourists, and everyone rushed to take pictures.

Huo Mian was just about to tell Mu Ling that Ta Yun was really popular, when he saw a tall figure among the tourists who were crowded to take pictures of Ta Yun, who looked particularly familiar.

"Can it hear us? Can it hear us calling it?"

"No, the glass is soundproof!"

"Did you take the picture? I took a group photo, look!"

"Fuck, Brother Lu, you are really good. You are good at finding angles."

"It's okay. Come over and I'll help you take the picture. Hurry, hurry, it's about to fly away. Okay, I got the picture!"

"Send it to me, send it to me, Brother Lu, add me on chat. Yes, this is me, Xiao Wei."

"I added it and sent it. No, I'm going to the jewelry store again. I remember there was a hairpin in the shape of stepping on clouds. I don't know if it's still there."

"Ah, Brother Lu, are you buying hairpins?"

"I can't give it to my girlfriend."

"Come on, come on, I'll buy one for my girlfriend too!"

The two walked away as they talked.

Huo Mian who was standing next to him: "..."

Good news, the handsome boyfriend is not lost. Bad news, he looks like he is worthless.
